VOL. I. MANNING, CLARENDON COUNTY, S. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1885. NO. 46. THE WRONG MAN. Working the Conadence Game on an Old New York Soldier. James 'Chittenden is a well-to-do farmer of western New York, who fought under Gen. Grant, and who came to the city to pay the last sad tribute to the memory of his old com mander. Time has whitened the long hair which streams over his coat-collar, and long bending at the plow has im parted a stoop to his broad shoulders; but his face is ruddy with health, and his step as firm and springy as ever, while his arm is as strong and his glance as bright as when he firstshoul iered a musket. Many eyes were turned upon him as he sauntered sadly down Broadway on his way to the city kam&eee.d afternood in his travel stained linen duster, heedless of the elamor of the passing crowds and the din of car-bells and carriage-wheels. A. sorrowful expression clouded the benevolent countenance of the veteran, and he was walking along slowly near Canal street. saddened by thoughts of days that were gone, when he was as tonished by a cordial salutation from a slim, dudish youth, who suddenly smil ed up at him and waved at him an am brosial hand glittering with rings: -Why, bless my soul. Mr. Smith," exclaimed this product of latter-day civilization in the most honeyed tones, "who ever would have thought of see ing you? This is : .eed an unexpect ed pleasure." Mr. Chittenden for a moment was taken aback. He surveyed the new comer from the crown ot his white tile to the points of his dainty patent-leath er shoes and saw at once that he was an entire stranger; but he loves a joke, and a twinkle shoacd in his clear gray eye as he replied with a quiet smile: "My name-is.. Smith; it's Brown. The "idish young man bowed his most ' nable bow and at once pass - ed on, l L proluse apologies for his mistake, and Mr. Chittenden again pursued his way.- He had stopped laughing at his little adventure and had relapsed intoihis former train of meditationt when he was a second time accosted by another apparition in a standing collar and cuffs, and a voice even more unctuous than the first, sa luted him as "Mr. Brown." Whether Mr. Chittenden's faith in human nature had been shaken by his first encounter, or whether his love of a joke again im pelled him, he does not now remember, but he immediately seized the hand extended to him and shook it with cor dial violence, uttering at the same time the warmest greetings. "How do you find yourself, my dear est friend? There, stand off so I can look at you." cried the exuberant farmer. emphasizing every word by tightenino his grasp of the stranger's hand. "'4leased to see me? The pleas ure is mine, sir: entirely mine. Only to think of it's being you! What, come to see the funeral? How considerate of you, eh?" "Oh. yes, and-and all that sort of .thing," replied the other, his smile a little fainter and his tone a little less cordial than at first, "Why. what an affectionate fellow you are, Mr. Brown?" "Aye, lad; cordiality runs in our family," rejoined the farmer, closing his fingers relentlessly and working his arm like the handle of a force pump; "a firm hand shows a warm heart. Affectionate? Well, I reckon I am. None of your loose grips for me, Meet a friend as a friend, I say, and don't be bacbward in showing your friendship. Why, how well you look. I should never have known you. "Time does alter one, it's true. There, there, Mr. Brown; 1 have been suffering with a sore hand, if you would "on' mention it, sonny; don't mention it. Nothing like exercise to keep good blood circulating. I can -never control myself at the sight of an old friend. Well, well, only to think that it's you. How -how-you've growed!" "Yes, indeed, and that reminds me -I'ye an important engaement, and I seelIhave no time tolose, so if you'll just excuse me But Mr. Chittenden is not the man to part from old friends so hastily, and so he only jerked the arm of his new acquaintance the harder, renewing his expressions of delight. By this time the thing was getting serious. The would-be confidence man was capering with pain, and struggled in the vice like grasp of the stalwart rustic like a lobster in the clutches of an octopus. His face and lips were colorless, and his brow stream~ed with cold perspira tion. His eyes stood out like saucers. His collar broke loose, his hat fell off. and the light seemed to have faded out of his life. The agony depicted on his face was net lessened when he saw that a crowd was gathering; and the farmer released he only after a final wrench which nearly tore the wily sharper's a m from its socket. "WE , gomg already?" exclaimed Mr. Chittenden, who had never turned a hair and rather enjoyed the exercise. "Well, well, you needn't be in such a hurry," he continued, in a reproachful tone, as the confidence man picked himself up and darted around the cor ner out of sig'ht of the approaching fig .uro in the helmet and brass buttons., -"That's rather shabby treatment of an ~old friend like me-but he didn't seem so very glad to see me, after ili," and Mr. ehittenden beamed benignly upon the grinning bystanders and calmly pursued his journey.-Yeso York .World. Mliss Belva Lookwood is not quite so ridiculous as campaign caricatures made her. She might be 40. or she might be 50. Her features are of the clear-cut Grecian,relined type; aquiline .nose, straight forehead, overhanging a pair of sharp,penetrating eyes, a glance into which at once conymnces one that the lady is endowed with more than ordinary brain power. Mantled over her forehead is a roll of hiands.ome, wavy gray hair that adds much to her natural beauty of her face. There is nothing in her out ward appearance or expression that would leadt a casual ob server to guess that she belonged to that miuch-rid.culed class of wolnen de nominated "strong-minded." \ A Domestic Tranedy. Last summer while the writer was in Amelia County, Virginia, the following incident occurred, illustrative of the philosophical manner in which negroes accept the decreesof Providence. Ame lia, it will be remembre'l, is one of the black counties. Tim negroes occu py most of the old homesteads, and are given over to ignorance and sulwrsti ion. The Wigwam. the old lirrison place, a house weli known in Virlin:ia, is surrounded on every side rjy hordes of negroes. who own small tracts of and, and farm them. One of these settlements is at "the L ndg." once the property of Mr. Robert Archer, a dis tinguished Virginian gentleman of the ld regime, now, with all his descend nts, dead and gone. My hostess and [ was peelng -penches ou the broad veranda, when Mary Caear, the dairy maid, appeared. "Miss Anna, gimme plece o' ?ight bread, please. marn." "Who is sick, Mary? 'said Mrs. H-, ight bread being a luxury reserved for the ill negroes. "Sister Rose Archer, mari." All colored people claim the frater nal relation, whether, there is any in reality or not, if they are members of the same church, or have "experienced a change." "Why, I thou-ht Rose' Archer lived in Richmond. \ 'hat is the atter with er?" Mary's large greasy countenance, which rivalled a bombazine dress for blackness, fairly shone. "Well, Miss Anna, you 'member Sis ose was married to Unk Crutch Henry Areher's son Willum, en dey moved fum de Lodge to Richmond. 'Bout three week ago Sis Rose en Willum hed . fight 'bout some'in', en Sis Rose hit Wiflum Archer cr lick on do head wid a stick or wood, en it kilt him, it pintly did. Willum Archer always was a siekly nigger. Well, Miss Anna, she done arsfteeould, en gin him er fun ral, en den, bein' ez she was aidder, n pore, she come up'to-de Lodge to stag here 'longer Willunms daddy en mammy. Unk Crutch Henry were mighty 'flieted 'bouton Willum b6eig ilt, 'cause he were do onliest son whar he had, but Sis -Rose say she gwine dar to be all de company she ken for Will am's folks.' The peach knife fell. Mrs. H-, though schooled to Amelia eccentrici des, stood transfixed. Then she gasp "And William's father and mother let her stay there after killing their on ly Son?" ."Miss Ann" said Mary, in a pecu tiarly soothing voice, "Unk Crutch HEnry done ax Rose buck un she come o kill Willum Archer, ean Sis Rose say ahe don' know huck um." This was Monday. Sunday afternoon ary re-appeared, an expression of riumphant excitement in her eyes, hough her manner was as gentle and eprecatory as ever. "Sis Rose Archer dead, Miss Anna," ibe announced. "Dead! When did she die?" Mary smoothed her apron. "Well, Tuesday mornin', Miss Anna, Br'er Jeames Barksdale went to Court House, en do sheriff sent Sis Rose word to git ready, 'cause he was comin' to de lodge Monday mornin' to git her n hang her for killin' of Willum Arch r. En Sis Rose say et-de sheriff were :omin' to hang her, ez she wore porely Dnyway, 'tw'int tuth while to git up, so ie gwine die." "Nonsense!" erled Mrs. H- "As if people could die when' they chose!"' "Sis Rose done die," said Mary,' stoutly. "She say 'twa'ni eout/ whil. lo git up fes~t to be hanged, en she die last night, en please, Miss Anna, lem me go to do funeral. Unk Crutch enry, gwine gin her a mighty nice buryin', bein' ez she was a widder en Willum Archer was do onliest son he ed."-J. C. C'ab'el, in. Editor's Draw r, Harper's Magasine for september. A New Hotel Dodge. "Key to 278!" said the bell-boy to the clerk of a city hotel, as he rushed ap to the counter. The clerk took the key out of the box andi extended it to the boy, when a thouht struck him, and he stopped and oked in the box at the addes on an envelope lying there. "Who wants it?" he inquired. "Lady in parlor-in a hurry," re plied Front, dancing a jig of imnpa tience. "That ain't her room. Go back and ask for her name." Front disappeared and returned presently, slowly. "She says it don't make any differ ence-it's a mistake-and she's gone." "Thought so!" ejaculated the clerk to a reporter standing by. "She was working the new racket. It's a pretty good one, and sometimes takes; oper ated by women generally. They go into the ladies' parlor, ring for the bell boy, and send him in a matter-of-fact way for the key of some room. Ho asks the clerk for it, and, if he is busy and-.thinking of something else, he hands it out without a question. Then the female sharper goes through the room in a hurry, trusting to thieves' luck that the occupant will not return before she gets away. Then the hotel is responsible for the loss. -St. Louis Chronicle. The largest hotel in Santiao, Chili, recently built, has its oddity, like other things in that country. The oddityss says a correspondent of the Suvk, the bar in the cafe where ladies are ex pected to lunch. "It is." he adds, "the only hotel bar in South America, and the 'proprietor of the hotel, who wanted to introduce all the modern im provements. was rather bewildered in selecting the location of this one. But it is a beautiful bar, and the ladies ad mire it as much as the men. At first they were disposed to walk up to it and say 'The same for me. If you please,' with their brothers or husbands, but have been convinced that the proper form is- to sit at the tables and take their drinks there. Tro see a lady d'iak ing a cocktail in the bar-room of the Grand Central of Santiago may startle the prohibitionist who comes here, but it is quite as much the fashion as to suck mint juleps through a straw on ex bacnis of a Long Trneh hotel" GENEEAL NEWS ITEMS.
